That is exactly what Kenny Ziglar II accomplished during the 2026 Shell Rotella SuperRigs competition, held June 25 through June 27 at Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, Tennessee. Ziglar earned the event’s highest honor for the second consecutive year with his well-known red 2007 Peterbilt 379, “Scrapin’ By.”

The back-to-back victory adds another milestone to one of trucking’s most recognized truck beauty competitions.

A Second Straight Best of Show Title

In addition to receiving the Best of Show trophy, Ziglar took home a $10,000 cash prize and 50,000 My Miles Matter points.

His award-winning Peterbilt also secured a place in the 2027 Shell Rotella calendar, continuing the truck’s recognition beyond this year’s competition.

The repeat victory stands out because Ziglar earned the top honor with the same truck that captured Best of Show in 2025.

Other Top Finishers

The competition also recognized several other standout trucks during the event.

David Calabrese earned first runner-up honors with a 2007 Peterbilt 379, while Todd Dills finished as second runner-up with a 2022 Peterbilt.

Ziglar also received second place in the Best Lights category, adding another award to an already successful weekend.

The 44th annual Shell Rotella SuperRigs competition is scheduled for June 25-27 at Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, Tennessee. The event is open exclusively to actively working trucks and will once again allow drivers to compete for cash prizes, industry recognition, and a place in the next SuperRigs calendar. This year’s theme is “Big Rigs are the Boss.”

Working Trucks Take Center Stage

Unlike many truck shows that feature vehicles built primarily for exhibition, SuperRigs focuses on trucks that are still actively operating.

That requirement has helped the event maintain its reputation among owner-operators who take pride in keeping their equipment both productive and presentable.

Drivers will compete for more than $25,000 in cash and prizes, while also pursuing one of 12 coveted spots in the 2027 Shell Rotella SuperRigs calendar.

What Judges Will Evaluate

Judging goes beyond a truck’s appearance at first glance.

According to event organizers, trucks will be evaluated on several factors, including:

Exterior appearance
Design
Finish quality
Originality
Attention to detail
Workmanship

Awards Include Best of Show and Specialty Categories

Several awards will be presented throughout the event.

Among the featured categories are:

Best of Show
Best Chrome
Best Lights

Additional specialty awards will also be presented during the competition.

Because the event attracts a wide variety of trucks and operations, multiple categories allow drivers to compete in different areas of recognition.

Shell Rotella Highlights the Drivers Behind the Trucks

“Shell Rotella SuperRigs has always been about more than impressive, hard-working trucks. It is about honoring the people behind the wheel and the pride they put into every mile,” said Julie Wright, Shell Rotella Brand Manager.

“We are thrilled to bring the 44th annual competition to Bristol Motor Speedway, a venue known for passion, performance, and unforgettable moments, while celebrating the drivers who help keep our world moving.”

More Than Competition

In addition to truck judging, SuperRigs will feature entertainment, fireworks, family activities, and the event’s popular Best Lights competition. The competition is free to enter, and spectators can attend at no cost.

Those activities have helped make SuperRigs a destination event for drivers, families, and trucking enthusiasts each year.

Virtual Voting Supports the St Christopher Truckers Relief Fund

Drivers and fans who cannot attend in person still have an opportunity to participate through the Virtual People’s Choice Award.

For every vote submitted, Shell Rotella will donate $10 to the St. Christopher Truckers Relief Fund.

Voting remains open through 5 p.m. Central Time on June 26, allowing supporters to recognize their favorite trucks while helping generate donations for drivers in need.

Bristol Prepares for Another Year of SuperRigs

With more than $25,000 in cash prizes, 12 spots in the 2027 SuperRigs calendar, and multiple award categories up for grabs, competitors will head to Bristol Motor Speedway later this month for one of the trucking industry’s most recognized annual events.
